The startup is also understood to have opened an office in Mexico and operations are slated to kick off fully in the Central American nation sometime this year.

Then, the opening of an office in Mexico, which was intended as a first step towards Central American expansion. And finally, the partnership with Visa, which reflects Visa's and Paga's desire to expand in Africa.

  • The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! After twelve years of the startup journey, Cairo-headquartered fintech company Fawry has reached a unicorn status (that is, now worth over a billion dollar!), the first ever by any fintech startup in Egypt and the first ever by any African tech startup going through an IPO (Initial Public Offering) on African soil. Jumia, the Africa-focused ecommerce startup did this in 2019, but that was on the New York Stock Exchange. Interswitch, the Nigerian payment company, also did it last year, but it needed extra funding from VISA to make that happen.

  • Customers, when purchasing, simply need to scan a QR (quick response) code in store using their phones. And the customer can use any MasterCard or Visa card to sign up. Ehlers added: “We tried to design a product which allowed absolutely everybody to be part of the formal side of the economy.”
  • In an interview with How we made it in Africa, Ehlers explained: “A sizable part of why we built the product the way we did really relates to how the economy of South Africa functions. So to give one example, we built SnapScan so the merchant selling the products doesn’t need any special hardware at all. No point of sales system is required.” Merchants who don’t have bank accounts can redeem payments at any Standard Bank ATM or selected supermarkets.

      SnapScan is a new app that aims to make it easier to make mobile payments, so I think this unique concept will drive potential entrepreneurs to develop and build new ideas that can enhance real digital services. It isn't always a major challenge to develop a new concept, but the problem may be how to view the idea or how to preserve it. SnapScan is a notion of a new concept that in South Africa revolutionized mobile payments so that this company could inspire us to build better ideas.
  • SnapScan’s partnership with Standard Bank has allowed the company to grow faster. But Ehlers and his team are still required to adapt to the differences between the corporate and start-up worlds. He explained: “A start-up can quickly make a decision and then two hours later start implementing, whereas in a large corporation there is a process, things move a lot slower. Politics are involved and different people – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just the reality.”

You can load your World Remit account through World Remit cash collection points, or some local banks in Algeria. Advantages of using World Remit: It is safe and secure.
  • PayPal. It is not possible to send directly to Malawi using this service with a normal account balance. The balance will need to be withdrawn from a linked bank account. DZ Bank and its branches do issue VISA/MasterCard cards that you can then link to your PayPal account. From there, you can load your PayPal account and send it to anyone in Malawi.

    WorldRemit in Algeria is playing it smart by being the only one who can send money to Malawi. In my opinion, I think that WorldRemit need to target this kind of options. The traditional banks in Algeria can't send money to Malawi and WorldRemit can do that so it's a big advantage for the company.

  • FinTech companies such as PayPal, Visa, Square, Mastercard and others are expanding cryptocurrency (crypto) and blockchain capabilities but several factors could limit widespread acceptance in the near term, says Fitch Ratings. We expect strategic crypto investments to have a limited near-term effect on credit profiles, given modest capital deployed and the long ramp time. However, adding crypto capabilities opens up incremental revenue streams for these companies, even if the return on investment over time and compliance risks are uncertain.

      Exactly like mobile money started a revolution in the African financial environment since the early 2000s, fintechs have to race for the first place in expanding cryptocurrency and blockchain abilities in the coming years. Especially considering the fact that Africa is already getting more familiar with cryptocurrency services.
